The NRL ladder for the 2023 season has taken an interesting turn, with some teams facing a horror news.
The Canberra Raiders and the Parramatta Eels are two teams that have been dealt a blow.
The ladder predictor shows a tough road ahead for both teams.
The ladder predictor shows that it will be hard for the Raiders and the Eels to secure a spot in the finals.
The Canberra Raiders have games against the Broncos (A) and the Storm (H), both tough opponents.
Meanwhile, the Eels have a game against the Panthers (H), who have been in red-hot form.
On the other hand, the ladder predictor shows a promising future for the Penrith Panthers.
With games against the Titans (A), the Eels (H), and the Cowboys (H), it's hard to see them losing another game.
Even if they finish on the same points as the Broncos, their superior for-and-against will give them the advantage.
Speaking of the Broncos, they have a bye in Round 25, giving them some rest before facing the Raiders (A) and the Storm (H).
While the ladder predictor predicts them to win their remaining three games, it's important to note that all of these games are against current top-eight teams.
Nothing is guaranteed.
In contrast, the surprise packets of the 2023 season, the Sea Eagles, are predicted to have a successful end to the season.
With games against the Dragons (H), the Dolphins (A), and the Dragons (H), they should secure four wins.
Overall, the NRL ladder and the 2023 finals predictor bring both hope and despair for different teams.
While the Panthers and the Sea Eagles have promising paths ahead, the Raiders and the Eels face an uphill battle.
Only time will tell how the season will unfold for these teams.
